Introduction
VISIT US on www.infineon.com whenever you need best in class active power switches. Electrical drive systems play a key role in energy savings. They account for two-thirds of electrical energy consumed in industry and they are a central component of automation systems. There are two distinct groups in the industrial drive technology. The first group includes electrically driven machines requiring position control. This group includes, for example, machine tools, measuring machines and packaging machines where precision in movement is required. The second group covers all applications where a fluid is moved by pumps and fans. Here variable speed drives allow adjusting the flow to the needs of the process. Compared to classic methods of flow control like throttling and bypassing, electronic speed control significantly increases the overall efficiency. Furthermore the use of an inverter enables the application of more efficient motor technology like permanent magnet synchronous motors and reluctance motors. Today such kind of drives can be implemented in a power range from Watts up to Megawatts. Nearly all static converters for electrical drives used today employ a combination of Input rectifier, DC-link and Output inverter. If no regeneration system is required for the electrical drive, the most competitive semiconductor components for the input rectifier are bipolar thyristors and/or diodes offered in various topologies, such as complete six pack modules, half bridge modules or single modules. In high power electrical drives the input rectifier consists of thyristors and/or diodes in press pack housings. If regeneration is required, an active front end can be designed using IGBT modules. In low power range, where power factor correction is mandatory in some applications, PFC (Power factor correction) circuits can be designed using disccrete IGBTs and diodes or dedicated modules.

RC-Drives RC-Drives Fast

Features Optimized Eon, Eoff and Qrr for up to 20% lower switching losses  Operating range of DC to 30kHz  Max junction temperature 175C  Short circuit capability of 5s  Very tight parameter distribution  Best in class current versus package size performance Smooth switching performance leading to low EMI levels  Complete product portfolio and PSpice Models on the internet

High efficiency for comfortable quietness RC-Drives IGBT technology has been developed by Infineon as a cost optimized solution for sensitive consumer drives market. This basic technology provides outstanding performance for permanent magnet synchronous and brushless DC motor drives. A new version of the RC-Drives Fast IGBT was developed specifically for low power motor drive consumer market: the IGBT and diode losses are optimized to reduce the inverter losses at switching frequencies of 18~30 kHz. RC-Drives Fast enables high efficiency designs for inverters above 16 kHz to reduce the audible noise to absolutely silent level. The world famous TRENCHSTOP technology reduces saturation voltages to intrinsically very low level, well below the values offered by competing standard NPT IGBTs. The technology progress lowers down the voltage drop of IGBT chip giving higher device efficiency, whilst Infineons HighSpeed 3 family provides the best compromise between switching and conduction losses
